but what i think david brooks underestimates is what it's going to take to pass this. not only through the house but also through the senate. it's going to require 60 votes in the senate. so it will take more than the president having a press conference or having a meeting. we need to come up with a package that can actually pass both branches of the congress between now and august 2. and i just frankly don't think tax increases particularly during a weak economic recovery, are likely to pass either the house or the senate. >> woodruff: we hear you, senator john cornyn, thank you very much. >> thanks, judy. >> ifill: next, taking desperate measures in cleveland to deal with a massive foreclosure problem newshour economics correspondent paul solman has the story, part of his ongoing reporting on the housing crisis and "making sense of financial news." >> reporter: in cleveland, ohio, someone's former home. since foreclosure, though, it's been stripped of anything you can sell, not even worth the price of the wood left behind. so down it goes-- an ever more common answer

david brooks is who they chose. david brooks believes that, it's obviously turned into the ideological paerl that walks -- party that walks away from compromise for the sake of politics. this is what he said yesterday about the logical and ideological republican party that has emerged. here's what he said -- and i quote -- "if the debt ceiling talks fail, independent voters will see the democrats are willing to compromise, but republicans were not. if we default, he said, it will be the fault of republican fanatacism." that fanatacism is making compromise impossible, no matter how much democrats are willing to give. independent voters, brooks says -- and i quote -- "will conclude that republicans are not fit to govern, and they will be right." end of quote. david brooks, conservative columnist, said this. the republican party has been taken over by ideologues either devoted to or terrified by grover nordquist and his no-tax pledge, whatever that means. his republicans refuse to believe countless respected voices and

brooks, but i would agree that his observations in this case are absolutely right. this is about not only standing up for the nation's honor, it is about standing up for the nation's obligations, it is standing up to make sure that there is a fair and shared sacrifice, not those simply on the backs of middle-class working families in this country, and those who have the least among us. that's the choice republicans would have us make. it is the wrong choice for the nation, and i am just hoping that we get to some sense of reality in this chamber that can help us move forward, have the nation be upheld in its obligations both at here and abroad and not stop a ripple effect that will cause an enormous consequence to this nation's economy. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator wyoming. mr. barrasso: thank you very much, mr. president. i ask unanimous consent to speak for up 10 minutes followed by senator inhofe for up to ten minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. barrasso: thank you, mr
